Does more volume mean deeper claims for Turfco?

Each dot is one of Turfco’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Turfco’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Turfco's grants concentrate

Turfco Mfg., Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 53.3% of grants classified under A01B (Soil Working IN Agriculture OR FORESTRY; Parts, Details, OR Accessories OF Agricultural Machines OR Implements, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Turfco sits between Truck-Lite Co., LLC and U.S. Silica Company.

Turfco's three-year grant acceleration

Turfco Mfg., Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
